Welcome note

When my husband and I set out to find and take pictures of wheelchair accessible waterfalls in every U.S. state, we were excited about the challenge. We gave ourselves no time limit to accomplish our feat; however, we had one mutually agreed upon rule that dictated how long we would stay in any given area. That rule was to never shiver again. Needless to say, adhering to this rule presented a new challenge. The new challenge was to find a waterfall that was actually flowing. Visiting mid-west and eastern states during months that prevented us from shivering are the same months that are hot enough to dry up streams; hence, little or no water flow for waterfalls. The natural scenery and picturesque landscapes warrant a second visit in the early spring right after the snow melts.

tough love

Tonight's blog was going to be about tough love. Tough love, because T made me feel guilty about going home and leaving him do his physical therapy by himself yesterday. Sometimes, we don't know what is best for ourselves. Our loved ones can see more clearly what will benefit our well-being. Even though it doesn't feel very good at the time, the end result will be to everyone's advantage.


I don't know if I'm providing the tough love for my T or if I'm challenging myself to see if I can stay away from my T. I am feeling under-the-weather today with a migraine and nausea. I had to cut my visit very short this morning, and I'm not making a return visit this evening. Bob said he wouldn't get mad like he did yesterday. But, the tough love that I planned on instituting is killing me. Maybe I'm sick from stressing. You know, my kids know how much of a "push over" I am. Is T playing their game too? If so, I'm falling right into the role. :(

T is walking like a normal person. There is no hesitation in his step. He took one step without any assistance. It looked like he had lead in his shoes, but it was an exciting time!
